The scientists analysed 62 placental tissue samples and found the most common plastic detected was polyethylene, which is used to make plastic bags and bottles. A second study revealed microplastics in all 17 human arteries tested and suggested the particles may be linked to clogging of the blood vessels. Microplastics have also recently been discovered in human blood and breast milk, indicating widespread contamination of people’s bodies. The impact on health is as yet unknown but microplastics have been shown to cause damage to human cells in the laboratory. The particles could lodge in tissue and cause inflammation, as air pollution particles do, or chemicals in the plastics could cause harm. Are babies recyclable now?
February 27, 20241 yr Just a cursory glance at the "influencers" on the various social media sites confirmed that most of those "people" are already mostly plastic.

Only if don't freeze 'em first. (too soon?)

February 27, 20241 yr Fucking Belgians. "Would you be willing to have some small bits of plastic injected in your bloodstream which may cause clotting?" -FUCK NO! That sounds dangerous as shit. "What if we were to inject some bits of plastic into human embryos?" -Go on. It's got polyethylene. it's what babies crave! I get a big kick out of science-deniers, but this one is going to be particularly fun to watch.

February 28, 20241 yr They said that preservatives would kill us, but perhaps they are just making people love longer. Maybe microplastics will make us immortal.

February 28, 20241 yr We all thought it would be disease or a meteor or nuclear war that would wipe out life on earth. Turns out it’s going to be plastic concentration levels.
February 28, 20241 yr If you were a dinosaur walking around umpteen million years ago, who da thunk you'd be transformed to particles in a baby?

February 28, 20241 yr We can still recycle the micro-plastic babies if Alabama has the courage to do what’s right.
February 28, 20241 yr 4 hours ago, Fastbreak said: Are babies recyclable now? Of course. It's just the placentas that have all the mini plastics. Didn't you read the fucking article?
February 28, 20241 yr So are the ladies still gonna do a plastic placenta eating party? Will gender reveal parties be like exploding plastics of pink or blue shooting into peoples faces? How are we doing this? There's a wreath fund opportunity in here somewhere. IT'S PEOPLE! SOYLENT PLASTIC IS PEOPLE! WE'RE EATING PEOPLE!
February 28, 20241 yr Breaking Alabama Supreme Court ruling: If human fetuses have microplastics, and fetuses are people, then microplastics are people too.
February 28, 20241 yr If the microplastics are in the placenta and eventually in the babies' cells then why don't babies float when you throw them in the water?

February 29, 20241 yr The pro-plastic lobby is pushing for us to believe that the higher number of micro plastics found in our cells means the greater in touch we are with the Force.

March 1, 20241 yr So google pushed an article to me on the presence of micro plastics in tap water. They said research suggests the best thing to do is boil water before drinking. It surrounds the three most common types of micro plastics with a carbon shell that passes through our body instead of being absorbed into our bloodstream.
April 2, 20241 yr Microplastics in arteries linked to increase in heart disease risk Microplastics and nanoplastics are everywhere – even in the fatty deposits called plaque that can build up in the arteries and cause cardiovascular disease and strokes. Researchers have found that in people with evidence of microplastics in the plaques, or atheromas, in their carotid arteries, the risk of heart attack, stroke or death was four-and-a-half times higher than in those whose plaque didn’t contain plastic.

It’s horseshit. May add an RO system but then it doesn’t really matter - everything we eat has plastics. So fucked. Don't forget PFAS/PFOS, which the 5th reich circuit appeals court recently ruled that the Environmental Protection Agency doesn't have the authority to regulate it's release into the environment.

So these non plastic people, what's their secret?
April 2, 20241 yr So wait, are we lizard people or plastic people eating babies’ blood to stave off annihilation? I can’t keep up with all the ‘students of the constitution who do their own research’, what with all the plastics and vaccines in my brain and all. It was a fucking miracle our species it this far. I think my daughters will be okay, but after that—-fuck it. Burn it down. The Stupids have won, let’s go do handshakes and get some pizza. Edited April 2, 20241 yr by YGIFS

April 2, 20241 yr Welp. I may be screwed. My regimen is: - Tepid showers, at least once per quarter - Going to bed at 4:30am - Sagging into a lifeless lump on the bus - But I am holding quite a few shares of RadioShack that I got dirt cheap. They'll be back after this digital fad runs its course.

Researchers have found that in people with evidence of microplastics in the plaques, or atheromas, in their carotid arteries, the risk of heart attack, stroke or death was four-and-a-half times higher than in those whose plaque didn’t contain plastic. Went looking for a source, found this: In a three-year study, having microplastics and nanoplastics in artery-clogging plaque put a person at nearly five times higher risk for having a stroke or heart attack. Experts say the mounting evidence showing an association between microplastics and poor health outcomes does not show causation, but the findings are alarming enough to warrant much more research. Virtually every person on Earth has been exposed to plastic. It’s becoming clear that tiny fragments of this plastic are becoming part of the human body. https://www.health.com/microplastics-clogged-arteries-heart-attack-stroke-8619660#:~:text=After adjusting for factors that,within the three-year timeframe.
